I'm happy to offer time to finish these. We should use these as basis to replace the need for OpenType script specifications. Who can offer time? I can meet on video to discuss issues, and review changes.

How much overlap in scope is there between this proposition and what is being proposed in https://github.com/w3c/font-text-cg/issues/11? Unless you have something else in mind than I read at first blush, it looks like this issue is probably a duplicate of that one and it would be better to discuss how the work gets organized over there.

lianghai commented 4 years ago

I don’t mind splitting the procedural discussion at https://github.com/w3c/font-text-cg/issues/11 from this. But yeah, if possible, it may be easier for others to keep an eye on if we concentrate on as few as possible threads.

Considering my bad productivity I can’t commit much time to this project, especially since I still need to work on the badly delayed font-side documentation, http://github.com/typotheque/text-shaping. But I’ll be happy to join any discussions.

Happy to help as well. I'm terrible at technical writing but can help with contributing illustrations, code snippets, proof-reading, etc.

n8willis commented 4 years ago

@kalapi Always happy to have proofing! And illustrations! IDK about code snippets, since the mandate for this repo was to avoid stuff that could be cut-and-pasted without first being understood. BUT there are definitely a number of descriptions of algorithms and other such pseudo-code and I'm positive they would benefit from additional sets of eyes giving them scrutiny.
